Wutikrai Phraikhieo
Action opened with a raise from lojack which was reraised by next door neighbor Chulho Park to 11,000. Cutoff player Billy Alfonso called to swing back the decision to Phraikhieo after the rest folded.
Phraikhieo answered with a four-bet to 34,500, Park shoved that got Alfonso to quickly fold while Phraikhieo tanked. After using up four time banks, Phraikhieo couldn't let go and tossed in the one-chip call.
Upon revealing, both had pocket queens. And with a rainbow flop, that ensured the split of the blinds and Alfonso's contribution.
